Import Tips
• Provide cross-sectional images or samples to demonstrate the chenille pile structure during customs review
• Declare exact fiber content and yarn construction to prevent reclassification as basic pile fabrics under 5801
• Check for flock chenille variants, ensuring no rubber/plastics bonding that could shift to 5604
